Once a Pig Always a Pig

There once lived a hog Who thought he was a dog He tried his hardest to bark Which made him a little hoarse Which is ridiculous, of course Because he was a pig from the start

This reminds me of the streetwalkers in Pigalle, mostly farmgirls who used their income to dress like Parisiennes but continued to speak, walk, and move like French farmgirls, i.e., not much different than teenagers pretending to be movie/pop stars. Well done! Aloha! Rico
